Show hidden (.files) in AndroidStudio's Device File Explorer

Question

In a project we have a "hidden" folder (a folder which name starts with a '.') on the device. Accessing it from Code is no Problem, but in AndroidStudios "Device File Explorer" I cannot find an option that displays unix hidden files. Using adb shell is very annoying.

Is there an Option (maybe hidden somewhere) in AndroidStudios "Device File Explorer" to make them visible? I can't manage to find it.

If not, is there an "AndroidStudio feature proposal" page where I can ask to add that feature?

I have this same problem, so for what it's worth, I haven't found a solution. There is a keybinding called "Show Hidden Files and Directories", but when I bind it to a key and use it in the Device File Explorer, it doesn't make any difference. – Magenta

At least we have a bug report now ;) issuetracker.google.com/issues/140057005 – Hofmann

Thank you for filing a bug report! – Magenta

Here we are in 2021, still missing a basic feature. – Azote

Still can't find anything. Is the feature ever implemented? – Ciaracibber

@Ciaracibber should be in the Android Studio Chipmunk release... finally – Hofmann

Answer 1

Install Android Studio Chipmunk. The project explorer shows up all the hidden files startng with "." .

Prod
